Masterclass Agenda:

Tuesday, March 11, 2025
10:30 AM - 12:15 PM
Low carbon power generation and grid infrastructure capacity challenges, including:
  • Growth rates, locations and market barriers in the renewable power sector
  • ‘Electrification’ and the key drivers in changing electricity demand requirements
  • Practical, natural and geographical constraints on matching supply with demand
  • Options for low-carbon ‘dispatchable’ supply, including their implications for grid capacity needs
12:15 PM - 1:00 PM
Lunch
 
1:00 PM - 2:45 PM
Smart approaches and alternatives to wires, including:
  • The electricity storage market today, including the key limitations and the emerging technologies to overcome these
  • Virtual power lines for congestion management
  • The ‘wires vs. pipes’ debate in energy transmission (including future use of the natural gas network in a low-carbon, ‘electrified’ world)
  • Other technological solutions to overcoming grid capacity and cost constraints
2:45 PM - 3:15 PM
Break
 
3:15 PM - 5:00 PM
Power system and grid restructuring, and the growth of ‘small’, including:
  • The implications of increasingly decentralised energy systems, encompassing supply, demand and storage
  • Virtual power plants and asset aggregation: bridging the gap between centralised and decentralised approaches?
  • Managing the growth of EVs and heat pumps, including the potential scales of dispatchable demand and supply
  • Price elasticity and the significance of time-of-use and dynamic tariffs for the grid
5:00 PM
Close
